Title: Pressure vessel with shear stud closure and method of assembling same
IPC: F16J12/00
Filed: 1973-07-24
Abstract: 1438597 Pressure vessel closures FOSTER WHEELER CORP 24 July 1973 [5 Dec 1972] 35112/73 Heading F2P In a closure arrangement for a pressure vessel, an open ended member 10 of the vessel initially supports a closure member 26 such that opposing surfaces of shoulders on each member are in spaced relation and do not compress a seal gasket 28 until heating means 32 on the member 10 is actuated. The resulting expansion compresses the gasket 28 and aligns screw threads in tapped bores 30 around the interface between the members 10, 26 so that shear studs 38 may be screwed in. After heating is discontinued, the members 10, 26 are maintained in position by the studs 38, to compress the gasket 28.

Title: Apparatus for feeding and fastening signatures together
IPC: B42B4/00
Filed: 1965-08-17
Abstract: 1,096,878. Feeding and delivering sheets. MIEHLE - GOSS - DEXTER Inc. Aug. 17, 1965 [Aug. 25, 1964], No. 35167/65. Headings B6B and B6H. Signatures to be stapled or otherwise fastened together at a station 13 are fed from a pile, or delivered from a buckle-type folder 17, first by an endless belt (20, Figs. 2-5) and then by a series of endless belts (21), both constantly driven, and registered at the station 13 by front stops 14 where they actuate a detector means 15 which causes the operation of the stapling &c. mechanism. The signatures are then released by the stops 14 and fed by an endless belt 22 through a buckle-type folder 16, which folds them about the line of staples, and delivers them to a stacking means 23. Registering and detecting means; stapling,- As shown, the signatures are stapled together by a known wire stitcher 13 which is pneumatically operated, and is adjustably mounted on the machine frame; where there are several titchers, these are operated simultaneously. The stop means 14 comprises a number of U-shaped fingers (37) each secured to a shaft (38) carried in end brackets 32 which are slidably mounted on the machine frame, and the shaft (38) is rockable to release the signatures for forward movement, by a spring-loaded electromagnet (40). The signature detecting means 15 comprises a bifurcated and arcuately shaped hold-down member (30) spaced above the belts 21, and an inverted U-shaped finger (33) with one end secured to a microswitch (34) and extending through the bifurcations in the member (30), and the other end bent below the plane of the belts (21). Thus, the leading end of a signature fed by the belts (21) will depress the finger (33) and close the switch (34) to cause the operation of the stitcher (13). The stops and detector are adjustable along the machine frame. When the stitcher (13) has completed its fastening operation, it causes the electromagnet (40) to lower the stop fingers (37), and the belts (21) carry the signatures forward.

Abstract: 605,747. Electromagnetically-operated valves. FORMAN, J. Dec. 31, 1945, No. 35312. [Class 135] [Also in Groups XXVII, XXVIII, XXXV and XXXVI] Reciprocating motion which may be applied to a pump or valve is obtained by the repulsion action of a coil energized by discharging a condenser through it on an adjacent non- magnetic conducting member. The return action may be a spring, a similar repulsion effect, or by a continuously intermittently energized solenoid. In Fig. 2, oil injection is controlled by a needle valve (not shown), or the end of hollow spindle 30 carrying a conducting disc 2 repelled alternately by coils 4, 4<SP>1</SP> and disposed in an enlargement of the oil supply tube 28, 29, the spindle 30 having parts 31 for the passage of oil. Condensers 6, 6<SP>1</SP> are discharged alternately. In Fig. 7, the coil 4 is also movable, sliding in piston 40 on the tube 38 to pump oil entering at 42 through the valve formed by disc 2 which simultaneously moves away from the inner wall of container 43. If the oil entering at 42 is under pressure, this returns the coil or other means are used to return this and the disc. A valve as in Fig. 2 with one coil replaced by a solenoid coil 5<SP>1</SP> . (Fig. 8) co-operating with a magnetic plunger on the valve spindle, may automatically control the amount of fuel with variations of engine load, since the fuel passed will depend on the duration of opening of the valve in turn depending on the extent of the continuous energization of coil 5<SP>1</SP> from the generator 45 driven by the engine, while the resistance 35 is adjusted to act as a throttle control. Resistance 46 may be adjusted in a contrary sense to resistance 35 in circuit of coil 4 through which condenser 6 discharges under the control of tube 47 in turn controlled by a coil 52 in which a voltage impulse is generated at intervals which may depend on the engine speed. The condenser may be charged from a high voltage generator 48. An alternative engine control can be obtained by connecting one end of each of coils 4, 4<SP>1</SP> to a discharge tube, the other terminals of the coils both being connected to a condenser, the capacity of which is varied with engine speed.

Abstract: 1,113,035. Feeding webs. R. MALIBEAUX. 19 Aug., 1965 [28 Aug., 1964], No. 35552/65. Heading B6B. [Also in Division B3] In a blanking and drawing machine for producing cup-shaped seals for bottles from metal strip, the strip is fed from a coil 12 between feed rollers 14, 15, over an idle roller 16 to a take-up spool 17, the rollers 14, 15 and 16 being mounted in a slidable frame B which during the active part of the blanking and drawing cycle moves bodily in a direction opposite to the feed motion so that the strip is effectively stationary relative to the blanking and drawing tools. The tools are mounted on a piston 6 which is connected by a rod 55, which is adjustable in length, to an eccentric strap 56. The strap 56 is mounted on an eccentric disc 4 secured to a main shaft 2 which also carries a pulley 61 which drives the take-up spool 17 through a belt 64 and a pulley 27a which drives the knurled feed roller 15 through a crossed belt 26. Also mounted on the shaft 2 is a cam 5 which co-operates with a cam-follower 25 on one end of a lever 23 which is pivotally mounted at 24. The other end of the lever is forked and engages a cross-member of the frame B. The cam 5 has a circular periphery except at 5a and 5b and is angularly positioned on the shaft 2 so that the frame B is first moved downward in the same direction as the feed motion of the strip and then as the piston approaches the rightward end of its stroke the cam follower 25 engages the portion 5a of the cam and the frame B is moved in opposition to the feed motion of the strip.

Abstract: 1,178,536. Jointing by rolling; soldering. IMPERIAL METAL INDUSTRIES (KYNOCH) Ltd. 17 July, 1967 [11 Aug., 1966], No. 36008/66. Headings B3M and B3R. Two layers 15 and 16 of different metals are roll bonded together by passing an assembly 19 of two sets of such layers between the rolls 1 and 2 of a pendulum mill, the sets being separated by a layer 18 of stop-weld material to prevent bonding between the sets. The assembly is subjected to simultaneous reduction and heating by the oscillating action of the rolls. In an example, after optional cleaning of the surfaces of titanium layers 16 and aluminium layers 15, the layers are assembled together with an intermediate layer 18 of a carbon-containing material or graphite suspended in oil. Seals 17 of a thermoplastic compound are positioned at the joins of the layers. The assembly is passed at 2 ft./min. between the rolls which oscillate at 340 ft./min. to bond the layers together, the seals 17 softening or becoming disengaged during the rolling. A layer of tin or a layer of brass or brazing alloy may replace the layer of stop-weld material, the sets of layers thereby being soldered or brazed together when rolled. The solder or brazing alloy, whose melting temperature is not higher than the annealing temperature of the metals to be joined, is removed after the rolling process.
